Let It Ride Poker was designed to offer Casino guests an opportunity to control two of their three bets wagered on an exciting poker game It’s enjoyable and easy to learn. It’s based on the five card stud poker game. The Players do not Play against the Dealer or any other Player.

HOW TO PLAY

BETS
All bets must be placed prior to the Dealer announcing “No more bets.” Each Player places three (3) equal bets in the spaces indicated (1)(2) ($).

THE DEAL
Each Player and the Dealer receives three (3) cards face down.

THE PLAY
You are not playing against the Dealers or the other Players. You are simply trying to get the best possible poker hand by using your three cards and two community cards, which the Dealer will expose.

Each Player will be required to keep the three cards in full view of the dealer at all times.

The winners are paid according to the payout schedule (pair of 10’s or better, two pair, etc.)
After looking at his/her three (3) cards, each Player will be asked by the Dealer if he/she wishes to take back bet number 1 or “Let It Ride.”

The Dealer, after burning the community card to his/her left, turns up one community card. Each Player will be asked by the Dealer if he/she wishes to take back bet number 2 or “Let It Ride.” After each Player has made a decision regarding bet number 2, each Player’s cards will be placed face down on the designated area of the layout and they may not touch the cards again.

The Dealer then turns up the second community card and in a counterclockwise direction, turns the three cards of each Player face up. After all losing wagers have been collected, all winning hands are paid by the Dealer, according to the payout schedule.

Regardless of the decision made concerning the first or second bets, a Player may not take back the third bet.

(Players cannot show their hands to the other Players.)

TIPS
After looking at your three initial cards and the community cards are still hidden, let it ride when you have a pair of 10’s or better. Pull your bet if not. If you have four parts of a flush after the first common card is turned also let it ride. Do not chase after 4 card straights.

Poker is a game of chance. However, when you introduce the concept of betting, poker gains quite a bit of skill and psychology. Poker is played from a standard pack of 52 cards. (Some variant games use multiple packs or add a few cards called jokers.) The cards are ranked (from high to low) Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace. (Ace can be high or low, but is usually high). There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs); however, no suit is higher than another.

Some games have Wild Cards, which can take on whatever suit and rank their possessor desires. Sometimes jokers will be used as wild cards, other times, the game will specify which cards are wild (deuces, one-eyed jacks, and so on).

Hands are ranked as follows (from high to low):

Five of a Kind – Only possible when using wild cards; it is the highest possible hand. If more than one hand has five of a kind, the higher card wins (Five Aces beats five kings, which beat five queens, and so on).

Straight Flush – The best possible natural hand. A straight flush has a straight (5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9) that are all of the same suit. As in a regular straight, you can have an ace either high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not ‘wraparound’. (Such as K-A-2-3-4, which is not a straight). An Ace high straight-flush is called a Royal Flush and is the highest natural hand.

Four of a Kind – This had contains four cards of the same rank. If there are two or more hands that qualify, the hand with the higher ranking four of a kind wins. If, in some bizarre game with many wild cards, there are two four of a kinds with the same rank, then the one with the high card outside the four of the kind wins.

Full House – This hand contains three of a kind and a pair, such as K-K-K-5-5. Ties are broken first by the three of a kind, then pair. So K-K-K-2-2 beats Q-Q-Q-A-A, which beats Q-Q-Q-J-J. (Obviously, the three of a kind can only be similar if wild cards are used.)

Flush – This is a hand where all of the cards are the same suit, such as J-8-5-3-2, all of spades. When flushes ties, follow the rules for High Card.

Straight – This is 5 cards in order, such as 4-5-6-7-8. An ace may either be high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not ‘wraparound’. (Such as Q-K-A-2-3, which is not a straight). When straights tie, the highest straight wins. (AKQJT beats KQJT9 down to 5432A). If two straights have the same value (AKQJT vs AKQJT) they split the pot.

Three of a Kind – Three cards of any rank, matched with two cards that are not a pair (otherwise it would be a Full House. Again, highest three of a kind wins. If both are the same rank, then the compare High Cards.

Two Pair – This contains two distinct pairs of cards and a 5th card. The highest pair wins ties. If both hands have the same high pair, the second pair wins. If both hands have the same pairs, the high card wins.

Pair – One pair with three distinct cards. High card breaks ties.

High Card – Any hand which does not qualify as any one of the above hands. If no player has a pair or better, then the highest card wins. If multiple players tie for the highest card, they look at the second highest, then the third highest etc. High card is also used to break ties when the high hands both have the same type of hand (pair, flush, straight, etc).

So, how do you bet?

Poker is, after all, a gambling game. In most games, you must ANTE something (amount varies by game, our games are typically a nickel), just to get dealt cards. After that the players will begin to bet into the pot in the middle. At the end of the hand, the highest hand (that hasn’t folded) wins the pot. Basically, when betting gets around to you (betting is typically done in clockwise order), you have one of three choices:

Call – When you call, you bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (for instance, if you bet a dime last time, and someone else bet a quarter, you would owe fifteen cents).

Raise – When you raise, you first bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (as in calling), then you ‘raise’ the bet another amount (up to you, but there is typically a limit.) Continuing the above example, if you had bet a dime, the other person raised you fifteen cents (up to a quarter), you might raise a quarter (up to fifty cents). Since you owed the pot 15 cents for calling and 25 for your raise, you would put 40 cents into the pot.

Fold – When you fold, you drop out of the current hand (losing any possibility of winning the pot), but you don’t have to put any money into the pot.

Most slot machines reward you for playing the maximum coins. For example the jackpot may pay 2000 coins with 2 coins played, but 4000 with 3 coins played. In most cases it is advisable to play the maximum coins.

Never leave or play a slot machines that owes you money. Sometimes a slot machines will run out of money before it is finished paying you off. If you get up someone else can sit at your slot machines and claim they hit your jackpot. If you put another coin you may lose the evidence so don’t touch anything until you are paid off.

Look for who is advertising loose slot machines and quoting specific payback percentages. These casinos are eager for your business and are willing to reward you with a looser slot machines for coming in.

Start off finding a slot machines that pays double for two coins played. Decide what your total bankroll will be before you start playing. Now start playing the slot machines. Play with one coin at a time until you win. When you win, play with two coins, one from your original bankroll, and one from the previous winnings. Continue playing with two coins until you lose, then revert back to using the single bankroll coin.

After you have played your entire bankroll, count your winnings. If you won more than your starting bankroll, put aside your winnings. Good work. However, if you wound up with less than your starting bankroll, this will be your new bankroll. Find another slot machines and try again.

If you do end up with no coins, quit for the day. This system does not guarantee you will be a winner. It will however help you stretch your playing time while risking less of your bankroll on one slot machines. If you only want to play slot machines for a little fun this might be the system for you.

The rules of slot machines consist of inserting coins into the slot and then pulling the lever to set the reels in motion.

The object is to line up specific patterns to win money. Depending on the slot machines chosen, you can bet up to three or four coins on each spin. To be eligible for the Progressive Jackpot, you must play the maximum number of coins per spin and be betting with $1 or $5 denominations. You may hit the “bet max” button to play for the maximum amount of coins and the reels will automatically begin to spin. If you prefer, you may deposit one coin at a time and then pull the lever to start the reels spinning. Each game has different payouts which are displayed on slot machines. Winning combinations are displayed in the center of the reels as marked by the pay line.

Most people when playing Roulette play the game the wrong way. For example, most people will start to play with a certain amount of money and keep playing until it is gone. This isn’t their intention, but that’s how it always seems to end up. Well, read on and I’ll show you how to best change this process.

Roulette is such a diverse game with so many possible betting combinations that if you are going to play it seriously you should be aware of what you should and shouldn’t do. After many years of study of the Roulette game I can show you with absolute certainty what constitutes a good bet and what doesn’t. It is my intention to give you a more in-depth knowledge of the game so that you can use this understanding to your advantage and hopefully make a profit in the long run.

The first thing I must stress at this point is that there is no great advantage. It is, however, possible to minimize the probability of losing, therefore maximizing your potential to win. There is no sure-fire way to always win, if there were Roulette would have died out many years ago, long before it was ever available online, but read on and lets see what we can do.

BETTING ON NUMBERS
One of the great advantages to playing Roulette online is you often have the choice of either an American or a European table. Always play on the European version with only one zero (the rest of this article assumes that you are). It lowers the house edge which can make all the difference.

Most people when playing Roulette will immediately start placing chips here, there and everywhere all over the table. They will put a couple of chips on some numbers, a larger amount of chips somewhere else, until they’re happy they have satisfied that little feeling inside them that is always intuitively telling them where to bet and by how much.

It’s a shame that in reality what they’re doing is placing the poorest value bets the table can offer. Even when they win, as they often do because the table is a wash with their chip colors, the winnings they receive are often less, or little more than the amount they have staked.

Now there is no doubt that this is an exciting and enjoyable way to play. If you enjoy it, and decide to carry on, then good luck to you. It is feasible that some times you can, and probably will win by playing this way. But do you keep a record of ALL your wins and losses? If you do then I would be very surprised if you win in the long run. So my advice is if you are intent on cutting the odds of you losing, then avoid this method of play.

If you study the above method scientifically you will find that most of the time you are betting against yourself. As an example, and to simplify things so that we can get a better vision of exactly what’s happening; let’s assume that we simply put $1 on each of the eighteen low numbers and $2 on each of the eighteen high numbers (ignoring zero for this example). Now if it lands on a high number we have won $18, but if it lands on a low number we lose $18 – bearing in mind that a win would pay 35-1.

This is exactly the same as putting an equal amount of money on high and low. The odds work out exactly the same, but we can clearly see from this example that we are wasting our time by putting a total of $36 on high and $18 on low because it would be exactly the same bet to put just $18 on high and leave low blank. You will be no better off except that if zero falls in and you lose both high and low then you now lose much less even though you have the same potential winnings. Of course when you’re spreading your bets all over the table you may decide to put a bet on zero, but the odds are the same it’s just that any other losing number or numbers become your bogey numbers. I have taken this example to a ridiculous extreme in the hope it will help you to see the mistake most people are making.

Transfer this diagnosis back to the way most people do play i.e. spreading a lot of money all over the table and you can see that they are nearly always betting unnecessary amounts (more than they need to in order to win the same amount) and steadily going to lose unless they are very lucky – but with such a method of playing they are minimizing their chances of being lucky. And there is always going to be the heavy loss when none of their chips come in – a totally unnecessary risk!

I say again, what we should be aiming at is maximizing the chance of allowing ourselves to be lucky. Try not to bet against yourself by staking more than is necessary to win the same amount anyway, and remember to take into account the amount of the total stake that is spent even when you win. If you start getting carried away and picking more and more numbers per bet, although you may have the fun of winning more often, you are going to be losing an increasing amount in the longer run most of the time.

Remember this rule; as you increase your stakes and spread the bet out, yes it may seem like you are winning more often, but when you do win your winnings are becoming less and less adequate compared to the expense of your stakes and the inevitable big losses.

Bearing all this in mind I would say one of the best value bets the Roulette table can offer is to pick 3 or 4 numbers (at 35-1) and just keep playing this same bet over and over. Or why not place these numbers on, say, the high number side of the table and stake the same total amount on low (at evens). Then if your chosen numbers refuse to drop in, at least the odds are slightly in your favor that you may be covering much of your losses because the ball is temporarily landing more on the opposite side of the table. Also, obviously, the opposite is also true; if the ball is not landing on low as much as high, you stand a chance that it could be temporally landing on your numbers more than the natural odds would predict.

If you give the above system a go you will need to be prepared to lose small amounts most of the time in order to gain occasional good wins. That’s how it will work, it is a good value bet, but it’s up to you to decide if you are prepared to take on the risk or not. I advise you try the system in an online Casino first but without real money to see how you get on. Keep a record of the results and see what happens over a reasonable period.
